Jamie Langfield

Dundee

Born in Paisley, Langfield started his football career as a youth player at Dundee, having been signed by Jim Duffy at sixteen years old. After progressing through the club’s youth system, he was called up to the first team by manager Jim Duffy as an unused substitute following an injury of Billy Thomson and Gary McGlynn, in a 2–1 win against Dumbarton in a Scottish League Cup match on 13 August 1996. On 17 October 1998, Langfield made his professional debut for Dundee, coming on as a 59th-minute substitute for the injured Rab Douglas, in a 2–2 draw against Aberdeen. A month later on 19 November 1998, he made his first start for the club and played the whole game, in a 1–1 draw against Kilmarnock. Langfield went on to make two appearances in the 1998–99 season. In March 1999, he signed his first professional contract with Dundee. The 1999–00 season continued to see Langfield as Dundee’s second choice goalkeeper behind Douglas. On 15 February 2000, he made his first appearance of the season against Ayr United in third round replay of the Scottish Cup and played all the way to a 1–1 draw, as the club loss 7–6 in a penalty shootout. In a follow–up match, Langfield made his first league appearance of the season, in a 3–1 loss against Aberdeen.

At the end of the 1999–00 season, he made two appearances in all…

Explaining his decision to join St Mirren goalkeeping coach, Langfield said: "We have a relatively young squad so we need that little bit of experience in there as well. It bodes well for the future. At this stage in my career it’s a challenge that really excites me. I enjoy working with young lads because I like to see them develop. The other thing is I’m a big kid at heart. I might be 35 but I’m still as crazy as I was when I was 18, so hopefully they will like how I come across, but the most important thing is that I hope my experience can help them throughout the season." When Ian Murray was sacked, he took charge with the club, alongside with Alex Miller. After the 2016–17 season have been concluded, Langfield retired from professional football to fully concentrated as St Mirren’s goalkeeping coach. During a 1–0 loss against Dundee United on 9 April 2018, he was involved in an argument with manager Csaba László. His tenure as the club’s goalkeeping coach was praised by goalkeepers, such as, Danny Rogers, Trevor Carson, Zach Hemming and Ellery Balcombe. Langfield was also "credited for his sustained period of success in recruitment and development of goalkeepers", such as, Hemmings, Carson, Balcombe, Václav Hladký, Jak Alnwick and Dean Lyness. Langfield, alongside Lee Sharp, took charge for St Mirren’s match against Celtic on 21 August 2021 after Jim Goodwin tested positive for COVID-19.
